Bengaline Maternity Boot Flare Pants

These classic wear-anywhere bootcut pants will take you from maternity to beyond in comfort and style. Japanese Weekend’s signature OKTM under-the-belly waistband gently cradles your growing belly and supports your lower back. No zips or buttons. This pull-on pant has a clean flat front with back pockets that flatter. Crisp stretch bengaline. Instant polish with amazing comfort makes it an easy favorite.

Flattering fit, comfortable, nice (and hard-to-find) color. Easy to dress up or down--I wear these to work as well as on casual outings. I generally dry clean these at home, but I spilled something on one of my pairs, so I washed it on gentle cycle and hung to dry without any problems. I ordered the large, as I was in between medium and large on the size chart and wound up having to return for a medium, which was still roomy enough through the rump and thighs (usually my problem areas, especially when pregnant). Very pleased--ordered a second pair in black.

Not what I thought at all. Not sure what made me believe they were loungewear pants. If I wasn't so close to the end of my pregancy, though, I probably would have liked these. As they were a little heavier weight than other pants, I don't think I'll be going many places in the next few months to warrant such nice pants for maternity and even post partum wear.

Very practical, and a good length if you are tall or have long legs. At 5'9 I find it hard to get good fitting pants but these work well for me. If they weren't so expensive for what they are I would definately buy more pairs.

These pants are great. I've had them for 2 months and have worn them numerous times and washed them and they keep their shape. Recommend.

They fit perfect and one can wear them for work or on a night out on town. A very good buy for me!
